Margin Trading Support

features

Suggested by Brian on 09/02/2017

Automated support of margin trading. Margin trading on the ratio involves borrowing coins, selling them, then buying others. This often generates a zero-cost basis problem and is a headache to calculate manually. Please!!!

I am also struggling with this. Support has been understandably slow to respond to my emails. If someone could comment on how to calculate manually to fix this problem I'd appreciate it.

Would like to use this feature as well

This is creating an unusually high tax liability for me when I used margin to buy coins and sold those coins. It's incorrectly using my previously purchased coins that were purchased cheap as the basis.

I need this too!
@erik
I named my margin coins "fxbtc" so that it would not conflict with other coins. I think of them as a separate entity. That will prevent the selling of old coins, but the "short" zero-cost is killing me

I really need this because it is messing with the cost basis for my 2017 year. I also really need a way to handle the lending fees because of the margin trading. Those fees actually make a substantial difference in the closing report of assets.

The Kraken API import feature does not distinguish between margin trades and regular trades. In the reports section, the list of the coins I still own is completely inaccurate because of this.

This is a really important feature. Can you please update on when testing will be complete and users can begin to access this?

Chris W. on 01/23/2018

I second @Dave. I know you guys are working hard, but the sooner the better as tax season is upon us here in the US.

@Zech, how would you differentiate between margin coins and normal coins?

Poloniex also has a margin trading construct. I'd be nice to have this as Poloniex is already 2/3's integrated into Bticoin.tax. without this I'm going to have to have my CPA figure it out....

please include bitmex exchange in this.

CoinSlinger on 03/14/2018

I agree with the other comments here - proper margin trading support for sites like Bitmex & OKEX is critical for being able to properly calculate gains/losses over the course of a tax year.
